Cousins Jess and Jeff just had the baby! They welcomed Abigail Mary Bowers into our family this week! Congratulations to Jess, Jeff, Sophie, and the rest of the Westcott and Bowers families! The biggest kudos and hoopla go out to Jess for actually going through the birthing process - yeah Jess!!!

My best friends from school, Annie and Heather both have very exciting news and as I spent the day in the pumpkin patch with Jimmy-crack-corn, Brandon (you-come-on), Flava and the girls, I feel like I am honor-bound to report it (because a pumpkin patch in Florida isn’t very exciting at all and my devoted readers deserve an interesting blog).

Annie and Heather both gave birth to baby girls this week - how fun is that? Happy Birth-week to Lily Grace, and Taylor Ann! You two are lucky because you have really cool mommys to hang out with and are bound to be super-cute boy magnets!

Congratulations to Annie, Heather, and their families!

A while ago Frank took me to a Ringo Star concert (see the blog “the man I never knew I loved” for specifics) and I remember that Shena E was the percussionist in his “All Star Band” that he sang with…. which is also a little confusing since Ringo played the drums for the Beatles and all but anyway….

So we were heading to Epcot a few days ago to enjoy some of their delicious food and wine samplings when our friends Todd and Rebecca suggested going to see Shena Easton. “We’re in!” I exclaimed with enthusiasm, remembering her fine drumming and 80’s musical stylings from that concert all those months ago. She strutted onto the stage but her drum kit and single drumstick were nowhere to be found. I also thought that she looked a little bit different…. and maybe even sounded different. Apparently, Sheila and Shena, E. and Easten do not represent one person. Evidently there’s a gal named Shena E. and another one named Sheila Easton and they were both popular in the 80’s. Another fun fact is that one of them allegedly went steady with Prince… but I’m not sure which one. Sorry.

Anyway, Sheila E isn’t the same as Shena Easton, San Jose is not in the southern part of California, and when Frank comes back into town he doesn’t like it when I sleep diagonally in the bed.

My blog is not only interesting but also educational.

You’re welcome!
